I've had the Ibanez SW20 roughly 6 months and it has served me well thus far. I was a little suprised with how loud this thing gets. You can just barely get away with using it with a drummer. I'd recommend this amp for anyone looking for a decent practice amp for a decent price.

I've had this amp for two years, and it just died. It rattled right out of the box. The tone it produces is not what you actually sound like, so that makes you practice less. It has many features and is very very good if you plug in headphones. Plug in a CD/MP3 player and some headphones and you're good to go.

This amp really is meant for a beginner, which is just what i was when i bought it. it is small, sorta quiet and very easy to understand. however, there are many cons to this amp. they are...

1.Presence knob does nothing at all. 2.Makes a loud popping noise when turned on or off. 3.Not very loud at all. However... 4.INCREDIBLY LOUD BUZZ. its just unbearable. you cant even turn the treble up more than halfway. if you do, you wont be able to hear yourself think.

overall, this amp is just a semi-decent beginner amp. nothing special, but it gets the job done. NOT TO BE USED IN LIVE GIGS

Pretty Good amp....

This amp is a pretty good practice amp but I wouldn't recommend it for shows because everyone else will drowned you out. The only really negative thing about this amp is that it has a pretty bad buzzing sound in it. Ive noticed that the CD input jacks when in use slightly turn down the volume of your bass but really isn't all that bad. Overall a great practice amp but wouldn't recommend it for live shows.
